2 Selecting echogram views on the bottom bar

The bottom bar in the display presentation allows you to select which presentations you wish to see, and how these are organized. The number of tabs available on the bottom bar depends on how many channels your system has.

Context

The bottom bar is available all the time. The tabs on the bottom bar allows you to choose channel and presentation mode. A dedicated tab provides a special view for you to see the screen captures you have made. The bottom bar also shows you the current echogram colour scale, as well as the time and date for the last ping.

The number of tabs available on the bottom bar depends on how many channels your system has. Two tab "groups" allow you to select channels and views. This example shows a EK80 system with two channels. In this context, the term channel is used as a common term to identify the combination of transceiver, transducer and operating frequency.

The tabs on the bottom bar allows you to control the echogram presentation.

Selecting presentation modes

Three presentation modes are available when you wish to see all the echogram channels simultaneously in the display presentation. The three tabs will arrange the echogram views vertically, horizontally, or in rectangular rows and columns.

The Vertical and Horizontal tabs are only shown if you have two or more channels in use. The Square tab is only shown if you have three or more channels.

By default, the views are arranged automatically in the presentation. You can change the physical size of any view. Click on the view border, hold the button depressed, then drag the border to create a smaller or larger rectangle. Note that the size of the other views are changed accordingly!

Selecting individual echogram channels

Each channel is shown with a dedicated tab. The channel is identified with the name of the transducer in use. This name is the custom name you provided when you installed the transducer. Select a specific transducer tab to see only that channel in the display presentation. In this context, the term channel is used as a common term to identify the combination of transceiver, transducer and operating frequency.

Procedure

Observe the bottom bar at the bottom of the display presentation.

Select the appropriate tab to set up the presentation of the echogram views.

Select Square, Vertical or Horizontal to arrange the echogram views accordingly.

Click the name of a transducer to see the relevant echogram. The echograms from the other channels are hidden.
